Really shouldn't be that hard to bleed the car. As a daily driver (and even as a track car) I wouldn't recommend running without a thermostat as can prevent the engine from reaching operating temperature.
Get that spill free funnel that has been posted if you haven't already, makes bleeding a breeze. Just jack the car up as high as possible, run the engine, give the radiator hoses a good number of squeezes, make sure heater is on full blast if you have one, and rev the engine a couple of times.
Sounds like you still have air in the system along with the fan not cooling enough at idle.
